Please note: due to changes in regulations and constant design developments, we sometimes need to change details such as binding and inlay materials.
The original Fylde Guitar, designed with the emerging styles of the early 1970s in mind - its wide fingerboard and short string length are ideal for fingerstyle players, and its evenly balanced bright tone is excellent for recording. Earlier models used Sitka spruce for the tops, but we have used Englemann spruce for extra richness since about 1995.
Some details of the inlay and dimensions have changed slightly, but the basic design has been so successful that it has remained unchanged for over thirty years.
